"Practice Makes 

 Perfect." 



A little girl sat on her father's lap, look- 

 ing into the mirror, and inquired if God 

 made both her father and herself. Being 

 assured that he did she remarked that he was 

 doing better work than he ever did before. 



It is simply the old adage over again, and 

 it is true of The A. 1. Root Co. V Bee-keeping 

 Supplies; and while perfection caT never be 

 attained they are as near perfection as im- 

 proved machinery and years of practice can 

 well make them. If you have never seen 

 them, or if you have, and have not a cata- 

 log, send at once for my 40-page catalog, 

 illustrated profusely, and giving prices of 

 every thing used in the apiary. It is free for 

 the asking. Special price list of shipping- 

 cases, and all kinds of honey-packages — 

 wood, tin, and glass. Send a list of what 

 you will need at any time and let us tell 

 you what they will cost you delivered at 

 your station.
